Rob's Rib Shack, Sonoma - R.I.P.

Today I drove up Arnold Drive on the west side of Sonoma for the first time in about 10 months. Much to my surprise and disappointment, Rob's Rib Shack is no longer. It is now operating as a diner-type place serving burgers, shakes, fries, etc. I don't know what happened to cause the change.

This incredibly easy seafood dinner uses fresh pineapple and a teriyaki-style sauce for the classic sweet-and-tangy profile of Hawaiian shrimp. The pineapple also concentrates as it bakes and helps keep the rice mixture from becoming too dry.

For perfectly fried, mozzarella Arancini, dip a rice ball into flour and shake off any excess. Dip floured ball into egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finish by coating completely in breadcrumbs. Repeat.

A super hot pan, preheated under the broiler, will help to brown the underside of the steak while the broiler chars the top and cooks the meat through. The broccoli stems will become crisp-tender while the florets get deliciously frizzled.
